Kensington is one of the most affluent and desirable corners of London, offering a wealth of high end shops and restaurants in addition to some of the capital's most notable tourist attractions. The NH Kensington is the perfect place for shopping addicts to crash after a hard day's spending, with High Street Kensington, Chelsea, Sloane Square and Knightsbridge all within walking distance and Oxford Street just a little further afield. If your tastes are a little more refined, Kensington is also known as the museum district of London with the Science, Natural History and V&A Museums all on the hotel doorstep. The entire area is leafy and composed of elegant, whitewashed streets, but if you fancy even more of a retreat then Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are just around the corner. Heathrow Airport is easily accessible using the Underground or via taxi, and Earl's Court tube station on the District and Piccadilly lines offers easy access to the rest of the city.
One of the true highlights of the hotel is its garden terrace, a recently landscaped and soothing outdoor corner of the hotel with seating where guests can relax and unwind after a busy day of sightseeing or work. Business guests can take advantage of the on-site business centre, and a fax service and wireless internet access are available at an extra charge. There is free internet access restricted to the lobby and ground floor. The 24 hour reception is also on hand around the clock to organise wake up calls, laundry and dry cleaning services, safety deposit box and luggage storage.
Both indoor and outdoor parking are available.
All 121 rooms at the NH Kensington share the hotel's modern and minimalist aesthetic, with contemporary and fashionable stylings that make it a pleasure to return at the close of the day. There is a mixture of wooden flooring and high quality carpets, with colourful linen and prints juxtaposed with stark lines and pared down furnishings. Each room contains premium amenities including internet access, flatscreen television, telephone, desk, minibar, air conditioning, hairdryer, soundproof windows and a luxurious thick mattress, perfect for sinking into at the end of an evening! Every room comes with an ensuite bathroom as standard.
The NH Kensington has its own restaurant, Huntingdon's, which is split across a contemporary and stylish dining room, more informal lounge bar and the outdoor terrace (during hot weather). The restaurant serves tasty Mediterranean cuisine in the evenings, and is open for a full and delicious breakfast buffet each morning. Breakfast is available from 5am until 10am, with dinner served between 6.30pm and 11pm. Lunch is not available, but there are plenty of dining options in the surrounding area and further afield.
Cots are available upon request.
